SOCOM: Confrontation Beta on its Way
With SOCOM: Confrontation just about 2 months away from its October 14th release date, developers Slant Six have made a smart move in announcing an open-beta to strengthen the multiplayer only title.
This isn’t your typical open-beta mind you, as you will still need a key to gain access. The one and only way to gain entry on the betas first day (September 1st) is to preorder the game through Gamestop, be it online or in person, which will not only include your key but 2 keys to give to friends as well. Other ways into the beta include snagging a key from the June issue of Qore, or subscribing to Sony’s premium service, but that won’t get you into the beta until September 8th.
Come October 14th, PS3 owners will be able to pick up the special edition of the game which includes a Bluetooth headset along with a ‘making-of’ featurette. Those looking to go the cheaper route will be able to pick up either a physical or digital copy of the game for $39.99.
